NXT Championship match official for No Mercy

Ilja Dragunov will challenge Carmelo Hayes once again.

Dragunov defeated Wes Lee to open Tuesday’s NXT in a match that determined the new number one contender for the NXT Championship. The finish came when Dragunov pinned Lee after he connected with an elbow to the back of the head. This will be the second title match between the two, with Hayes managing to score the win at The Great American Bash back on July 30.

After his loss, Lee was shown exiting the WWE Performance Center saying “I’m done”.

Bron Breakker will meet Baron Corbin after the two had an exchange on NXT. Corbin called out Breakker to congratulate him on what he did to Von Wagner last week, smashing the steel steps into his head. Breakker told Corbin that he didn’t do it for his approval. The two got confrontational before Corbin slapped Breakker, and eventually both had to be pulled apart by security.

Here is the updated card for NXT No Mercy on September 30:

  • NXT Championship: Carmelo Hayes defends against Ilja Dragunov
  • NXT North American Championship: Dominik Mysterio defends against Mustafa Ali
  • NXT Heritage Cup: Noam Dar defends against Global Heritage Invitational Tournament winner
  • Baron Corbin vs. Bron Breakker
